Children's Mercy

Children's Mercy Hospital is poised to update its rapid whole-genome sequencing protocol, known as STAT-seq, in an effort to bring the time needed for genome sequencing and analysis down to around 24 hours.

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) — Four research teams across the US have been awarded a total of $5 million in fiscal year 2013 under a new Genomic Sequencing and Newborn Screening Disorders program jointly funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development an

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Children's Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Kansas City said today that it has received a $1 million grant to fund its Center for Pediatric Genomic Medicine, which aims to use genome sequencing in the clinical care of newborns.

As a first step toward implementing clinical whole-genome sequencing in a neonatal intensive care unit, researchers from Children's Mercy Hospital have published a proof-of-principle study demonstrating that their protocol can diagnose genetic disease in newborns.
